Egypt Army: 172 Sinai Militants Killed in February
2015-03-02
[AnNahar] Egypt's army said Sunday at least 172 Death Eaters were killed in February in joint police and military operations in the restive Sinai where security forces are battling an Islamist insurgency.

The Death Eaters were killed in a series of security operations in the peninsula after a deadly January 29 attack by jihadists left 30 people dead, mostly soldiers.

The army said the Death Eaters were killed in the North Sinai cities of El-Arish, Sheikh Zuweid and in the town of Rafah that borders Israel and the Paleostinian Gazoo Strip.

in these operations, while 85 krazed killer hideouts were destroyed last month, the army said in a statement accompanied by a picture of a suspected krazed killer rubbed out.

Egypt's army has poured troops and armor into the region to fight an Islamist insurgency since the ouster of president Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.

Most attacks are spearheaded by Ansar Beit al-Maqdis (Partisans of Jerusalem), the Egyptian affiliate of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
